Purchase options and add-ons

This book is updated often to reflect current information. Last updated JANUARY 2024 to include new information on visa procedures and financial qualifications, bringing your vehicles and other updates.

So, you’re thinking about trying out Mexico? Good for you. Where will you live? Mexico is a big country and living in Tulum is nothing like living in Mexico City—and neither is anything like living in Puerto Vallarta. The food is different, the culture is different, the weather is different. It’s an incredible country with many unique living experiences to choose from.

And there are other questions. What will you do for medical insurance? Will you be bringing your vehicle and pets? Are you allowed to own property in Mexico? How do you handle paying utilities? Can you transfer money online easily? How long can you stay? Will you have to pay taxes? Do you have enough money to live there?

The Move to Mexico Bible takes a look at 33 different cities and towns—from expat populations to climate and conveniences. With over 100 photos and illustrations, this book will also walk you through the visa process and give you invaluable advice about healthcare, household help, communications, real estate and other variables. Don't leave home without it!

Concise, clear, and comprehensive overview

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2023

Verified Purchase

I bought two books to read about a potential move to Mexico, this one and another by a more well known popular author, it was full of political views and did not have any real information.

Sonia's book is top notch, very well organized, the facts and things to consider flow very well which makes it easy to read.

I had mine spiral bound at a local copy shop to make reading, highlighting and note taking easier.

Good for Beginners

Almost half of the book shows different states, climates, and general history. It's a good basic reference to have for those who like to have it in paper format. It includes multiple experiences from the author that provide insights into Mexico. Remember, Mexico is multifaceted, and many aspects do change within the day, the state, and the people who assist you.

Excellent, comprehensive, & easy to read

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2021

Verified Purchase

This seems to me to be a great introduction to what you’ll need to know if you want to move to Mexico. I only say ”seems to be” because since I haven’t actually moved there, I’m still just thinking about it. Maybe if I do move there I’ll find some important things they left out. But I kind of doubt it. No matter what, it’s an easy & enjoyable read, and certainly works as a great springboard for anyone considering such a move. (And FWIW I read the Kindle version and didn’t run into any formatting issues as you sometimes get in the ebook. However, there are some nice color photos in the early part of the book, so it's better on a color-screen device.)

Great up to date book

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2019

Verified Purchase

I appreciate the authors work on bringing the most up to date and relevant info. A good majority of the book gives descriptors of all the regions, and that concerned me before I bought it because I wanted to know more about the logistics of moving to MX, but I was impressed with the logistical knowledge it does have. The book has several chapters dedicated to everything from expat insurance, renting vs buying, hiring help, getting a visa, what you’ll need to know and even a section on the current debate on medical marijuana in MX. Again, very impressed with the up to date and relevant info. Well worth the price!

Has good chapters and bad ones

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

Chapters 2-8 deal with different places in Mexico with significant populations of foreigners. I came up with a drinking game for it. Take a drink every time it says, "there are many good private hospitals in xxx and public hospitals for those insured with IMSS and Seguro Popular." If you can make it through chapter four, you have more stamina than I do.
One notable shortcoming of this part of the book is the absence of cost of living information. It says that Mexico City housing is expensive (true) but this is also the case for Todos Santos and some other places discussed. It would be worth knowing that although San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato are only 75 km. apart, most things in San Miguel cost double what they cost in Guanajuato.
The book speaks highly of Cuernavaca, but anyone considering it as a place to live should be aware that it has a long-term high crime rate. This really should have been mentioned.
And speaking of San Miguel de Allende, it says that the local newspaper has an astrology column. Excuse me, but should someone considering moving there and forking over $250,000 for a house (yes, that's what they cost) be influenced by an ASTROLOGY COLUMN?
However, chapter nine addresses the requirements and steps involved in immigrating to Mexico. As far as I can tell, it's accurate. Anyone who has decided to take this step should read this chapter VERY carefully.
Chapter eleven deals with the ins and outs of car ownership in Mexico, including getting a driver's license. Again, pretty accurate, but I was surprised that no mention was made of using UCD (the Democratic Campesinos Union) license plates as a way of avoiding the complexities of registering foreign vehicles.
The remainder of the book is useful information on a lot of topics; the idiosyncrasies of using telephones, health care, banking, buying and selling homes, and food. Chapter 24, "Handy guides", contains an interesting and sometimes amusing Spanish lesson.

I am moving to Mexico in a few short months. of all the dozens of guidebooks, discussion groups and friendly advice I've digested in the past two years, this book sums it all up in a concise, easy-to-read format and answers just about any questions a retiree, adventurer or person ready to change their life may have. "the move to Mexico bible" will be the only book I will jam into the one carry-on I'm taking to start my new, permanent life in this amazing country. read this fact-filled book and you'll be right behind me. Buenos dias!

I have been reading the book over the last couple of weeks. Sonia gives great tips, suggestions and processes to follow. I also belong to her facebook page where she often provides great tips, resources and help to people either living in Mexico or planning to move like I will be doing in 2022-2023. I would recommend this book as a must read!
